Tenebrae Begins Swiss Tour in December

The elite British professional choir, Tenebrae, embarked on a Swiss concert tour in December. 15 and 16 December brought the ensemble to Le Collégiale de Romont and the Abbaye de Bonmont (pictured right), in Canton Vaud, Switzerland, for Christmas celebration concerts. The historic venues added an immeasurably contemplative quality to the programme, which featured a variety of traditional and modern Christmas works, from composers including Britten, Poulenc and Rutter. Tenebrae is represented and managed by Swiss Global in the United States.
